Smart Systems


Smart Systems are devices that incorporate functions of sensing actuation and controle. They are able to design and analyze a situations and making a descision based on the available data in a adaptive or predictive manner.

Smart Systems consist of diverse components
  1. Sensors for signal acquisition
  2. Elements transmitting the information to the command and controle.
  3. Command and control units that take descisions and give instructions based on available information
  4. Components transmitting descisions and instructions
  5. Actuators that perform or trigger the required action

Smart Systems combine technologies and components from Microsystem Technology.
Major applications field of Smart Systems are manufacturing technologies, medical and automotive technologies.
A major challenge of this technology is the intergration of a multitude of driver components.
